MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

running
death happens every tiniest fragment of time and happens again every smaller tiniest fragment of time and there can be a tiniest fragment of time that makes life worth not losing . . .

Previous discussions I participated in:
Missed last night's dose
infedelity
music trivia anyone?

shopping! I would do more of that if I didn't suffer from social anxiety right now. It's all I can do to go to my fitness club. I keep to myself, I still can't eat, but I was told it will take time.

Thanks for your input!!!!

Jogging is a fast working "pick me up" anytime. It gets the heart pumping, and all your muscles feel alive, like you thought you felt like when you were high, but this is even better..it's an endorphine high...it's healthier, safer, and lasts longer, and it doesn't cost a thing! Wink
